What time do you rollll out of bed to feed your flock?

[aoxa]

I free feed/water. They are let out to free range at 6:30 on weekdays and around 7:30 - 8:00 on weekends. I don't get up early to let them out. They have a huge barn to wander around in. They do make a fuss when I am late letting them out though

Mine have "shifts" to free range... I have a dog that wants to taste them lol

 

[Chicks on DL]

Mine are spoiled and squawk like teenagers at 6:25 am and can carry on for longer than I can take. They are right outside my window. I let them out to free range and give them sunflower seeds to shut them up. Then I head straight back to bed for an hour.

We have auto doors, so they have access to the runs (and food/water) at 6 a.m. But they're pacing and complaining to be let out for free ranging by 7a.m. at this time of year. Of course as the days grow shorter, their "outside" time gets later too.

I'm a horrible chicken owner! I often open the coop until 9 or 10! Free feed and water. Of course depending on shift it may be 5 am.

Mine have a water system and a feeder that holds 15-50lbs of feed so I don't need to worry about that. I don't lock them in the coop, they have an enclosed run that the coop open into so they don't really need me to get there and feed them.

We usually roll into the farm about Lunch time

we are lazy farmers.... and we like it that way

I commute back and forth to the farm to, we live about 2 miles away, only reason I have to go early is that I start work at 2 30 in the afternoon and usually do not get home until midnight (I am just a little sleep deprived at times)..

I get up at 5am and my girls...and boys out it is still dark at that time it looks like night time but they do come out...mine also have food 24/7 all I have to do is fill the feeder up at night
